We had 200 hr FOs here before the ATP rule.
Stop drinking the KoolAid. Even if you have Fedex pay, nonrev benefits are still great to have and use. Obviously not during peak holiday times (though this past year on Thanksgiving Wednesday I got my wife and 2 kids out on non-rev). They are still great to use for when you can.
Last year January grandpa passed and I found out at 8pm. We were able to get on a 1020pm UA flight to go make it in time for the funeral the next day. Sure we could have bought those last minute ticks for about $500 each one way. But ZED was dirt cheap and totally worth it, I think it was about $40 per person. We also love to travel internationally and I would much rather take a foreign airline out of America than a US carrier. Far better service and friendliness. Took Austrian once on ZEDs and we were able to pick pur seats online the day before because the flight was open. $245 for all 3 of us to Europe. We have benies on all AA/UA/DL/SW, the LCCs, and the foreign airlines. It’s totally worth it.
